Ranchi: The CBI Tuesday searched the house of Sita Soren, a Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) legislator and daughter-in-law of party leader Shibu Soren, official sources said. The agency is probing horse-trading charges in the countermanded on March 30 Jharkhand Rajya Sabha polls.

The Central Bureau of Investigation team searched the house in Sita Soren's presence. Her house in Dhruva was first raided May 18, but could not be searched since she was not present there. The house was subsequently sealed and searched after she arrived there on Tuesday.
